Romney just doesn’t have it in him to get down and dirty —so someone else has to do it.

He better be cleaner than clean, because the Chicago thugs will sic some government agency on him now. Adelman’s casinos are being investigated by the Obama goons, as the old Intimidation Train rolls on.

I can’t find the article you are referring to. Does this have something to do with mining heiress from Australia? I heard the libs screaming about her on progressive radio yesterday.

Yes, the family military record would indicate that. Hopefully there will be somebody with a set of stones who will do it for him.

He has supposedly been outraising Obama for months, too. When is he going to start spending some of it. I have not heard hardly any ads for or by him. I have heard a LOT of Obama stuff.

Good. Someone needs to start running ads for our side.

Question: If Romney has outraised Obama every month of this campaign (except August maybe), then why are the pro-Obama ads the only ones we ever see? Where’s all the Romney money going?

Same here. I live in northern New England (not NH), but you would expect to see some Romney ads because some of our local TV stations broadcast into NH. Plenty of obnoxious Obamugabe spots but nothing from Romney. Predictably, Romney is widely seen as trailing in NH which is a key battleground state. What gives? We can see the whites of their eyes already.

Well the money certainly hasn’t been going to buying yard signs for those of us in Northern Virginia. We haven’t been able to get them for weeks and it’s not because there have already been a bunch supplied that are sitting on lawns somewhere. Well, at least it’s not like Virginia is an important state. Oh, wait...

How ‘bout this? Run all 12 million in Ohio with an ad that says “Ohio, if you vote for Obama, you’ll let the entire world down. Don’t be an idiot and vote for style over substance. We’ll be watching.”
